Four-time NBA champion Steph Curry exited the Golden State Warriors' 115-108 loss to the Houston Rockets with right abdominal soreness.

Curry made a three-pointer - his only basket of the game - with about seven and a half minutes left in the first quarter and put his hand on his right side and winced after the shot.

The two-time league MVP immediately walked over to head coach Steve Kerr and headed to the locker room, failing to return for the remainder of the game.

"He said he tweaked something in his abdominal area and said he's never done it before," Kerr said post-match.

"Concern is high, but I have no idea the extent of the injury."

Kerr added that Curry left the arena in the second half to get an MRI but that the team had not yet received any further information.

The 38-year-old entered the night ranked second in the NBA in scoring at 30.6 points per game. He was the Warriors' leading scorer in six of their eight wins this season, which followed on from a 0-3 start.

Kevin Durant scored 20 points for the Rockets, with Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson adding 19 each as Houston snapped Golden State's eight-game winning streak.
